I am going to give them a try. My Quality before the MCELL was TERRIBLE, but now with it no one can hear me if I am in the same room with the tower. I am going to try the Location and WIFI settings and see if it improves. Thanks Thank you Kevin for the tips. I am going to give them a try.

It found GPS signal for setup and it wasn't even near a window, it was about 15 feet away. Voice quality was fine. Works fine for me.

The best way to describe it was that others stated that my voice got distant and low and then came back clear so my conversation was choppy on there end despite me hearing them fine on my M-Cell connection. After some troubleshooting I found 2 things that impact call quality on M-Cell. 1. Location Services – you need to turn this service completely off. 2. Wi-Fi – yep, that wireless connection will impact your call due to using then same connection redundantly by your iPhone via M-Cell & Wireless. Switch both of these services off, and provided your Quality of Service is 0.0%, you’ll be fine. I have a 3GS myself and I used to have MAJOR issues with others hearing me.

The other party sometimes hears echo - it adds about 70 ms of latency to the voice to the point that it makes it difficult to have a conversation. - there is no screen to tell you the firmware version or any service statistics - tech support told me to return mine because they could not fix my service and did not know when they could roll out a firmware upgrade to fix it. There are messages on the boards saying there is a firmware update to fix this problem. I do not recommend the 3G microcell.
